Some minor feedback points: Just from reading the abstract and intro, this could be read as a non-sequitur: “It limits our ability to mitigate short-term harms from NLP deployments”. Also, calling something a “short-term” problem doesn’t seem necessary and it may sound like you think the problem is not very important.
It harms our credibility in ways that can make it harder to mitigate present-day harms from NLP deployments. It also limits our ability to prepare for the potentially enormous impacts of more distant future advances.
I tried to stick to ‘present-day’ over ‘short-term’, but missed this old bit of draft text in the abstract.

Thanks! Tentative rewrite for the next revision:
